TFS: Cheap DIY Downdraft Grinding Table 

Is your shop still up? This link isn't working for me.

Now you have built it you can use it as a head porting flow table and test the flow of each port in a cylinder head . A simple hand held air flow meter will work with a bit of grease to seal the head to the table .

The best way for most guys to do this is go to a junkyard. You can find something that you can convert into such a table. At my junk yard they often have Stainless steel deli tables. you could easily Convert something instead of fabricating from scratch

You put a keypad on your grinding table so that what? Nobody turns on the table? What do you work at home depot? 😑👎

Cocaine is one hell of a drug

yeah but imagine if they were louder than grinder :D

Be mad not to want any extra noise in the factory! You might be one of those ‘be proud, make it loud’ type guys?! 🤦🏽‍♂️

Decibles add up, they don't override or cancel eachother out. The more you can reduce, the less damaging it is.

If you are grinding a lot of pieces with downtime between pieces, you can leave the fans running and still hear yourself think... ::shrug::

Air filter schmilter. I just smoke ciggies to filter the air so it's clean, and any toxins are burned by the heat. It's a win/win.

Very sorry to read that, it is one of the things that can creep up on you without realising as the brain and ear partially compensate for the loss - and by the time you realise there is a problem it is far, far too late. For you, it is an unfortunate, classic example of what I tell the kids who don't think it matters "do you want to be able to hear the laughter of your grandchildren at play?" Personally, I used the ear muffs I could find - left ear canal is quite small and most plugs don't fit - and after working in many noisy industries and around noisy engines, when I had my hearing checked a few years ago, in my mid fifties, they were really surprised just how good it still was - better, they thought, than many of the teenagers who were tested who listened to music on earbuds - I've know quite a few who listen at volume levels high enough for my to identify their 'music' from another room, FFS! It helps that when I do listen to music, etc, I do tend to have the volume well down - well, mostly... - especially at night when the radio volume is easy to hear yet so low that I can have problems hearing it during the day over normal background sounds.

Snowflakes..

Your making up for it with long conversation here

@@FOOKRU-vidNUMBERS Thank you.

That's like when people ask me if I drink, having lost my pride year's ago, I alway's reply, only if your buying. ;->)

I guess it's a thing on RU-vid to repeat lines from the video . I dont understand ?

@@Goofy948 Ever quote a movie?

@@Goofy948 it seems to be a thing, unfortunately these people havent figured out how to do the timestamp thingy yet.

@@ixamraxi Maybe once

Yup. I think finger control comes in handy in situations like this

I was totally thinking this as he was kneeling on the floor with the chop saw, lol.

That's a good suggestion

What brand of air quality meter would you recommend? (From a cost vs. accuracy standpoint? I’m on a bit of a budget.)

Thanks for the interesting comment. 👍

@@mxcollin95 I use a Dylos DC1100 pro with a computer interface so I can log particle counts over time. It's not a professional grade particle counter but it works well and doesn't cost $$4,000. There have been a lot of new air quality monitors come on the market since I bought the Dylos 4 years ago so you can probably find something less expensive now. Formaldehyde and VOCs are also common pollutants in workshops and some of the new meters measure those also. I check particle counts outside to use as a reference. With my air filtration system my shop air typically registers at about 1/10th the particle counts compared to outside air.

Shop Hacks thank you very much for the info!

if It's not filtering the dust, The fan will fry after about two weeks of heavy use. Ask me how I know.

Lol bro i use a old grill cabinet as a rolling shop table and had that same idea of leaving the top on one adding a vacumm and having a grinder table

@@rustedratchetgarage6788 nice!! Multi tool aha

LoL ...

I'll watch that video 🤣

Im doing it as we speak

Take the lid off an old stainless BBQ that you pick up for free on the roadside.... Comes with grates, just add the bottom stuff, back catch & anti fatigue matt. Then figure out ducting... Bam!

@@TheFabricatorSeries Would an old washing machine or dryer shell work too?

no doute to late now but kitchen exhaust fan i have found to be as useful as a fart in a spacesuit!!

Do you have any pictures anywhere of this setup?

I'd love to see this as well

Same here, I don't even own a grinder or a welder yet 😂😂

That would be handy.

Sounds like good info to me. I'll keep an eye out for a couple of those.

Check back in 20 years or so.

PROJECT BINKY ! :D

That's the same CAD version I use 🤣

@@aaronyoung5876 that's only version I can AFFORD!

"Cardboard Aided Design", from Collin Furze video? I have a normal household Cat.
